What is a Mini-Split System?

Mini-split systems have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.

The main advantages of mini-splits are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Ductless mini-split systems are also often easier to install than other types of space conditioning systems.
